Playa del Carmen: Details still cloudy in Blue Parrot shooting

Alejandra Villanueva Ibarra, Denver Colorado, trampled to death

Reports from the ground
and in the media are insisting the shooting was cartel related. Authorities say it is the work of a lone
gunman. Details are slow to be
forthcoming. Including the number of dead, between 5 and 8, and the number
injured, between 12 and 18.

Injured American Heather Parham

College student Alejandra
Villanueva Ibarra, 18 from Denver, was trampled to death in the chaos following
the outbreak of gunfire.

“She was talking about
how she was having so much fun and can’t wait to come back home and tell us
everything about her vacation,” her brother told the DailyMail of their phone conversation just a couple hours before his sister's death.

Alejandra was in Mexico
taking a break from working hard in college, as well as looking after two
younger siblings when she was tragically killed.

Festival organizer Kirk
Wilson, (below) who is originally from Canada, is believed to have been killed along
with three security guards, according to local reports.

Beautiful Playa del
Carmen, has long been considered one of the most popular and safe places for tourists
to visit in Mexico. The last thing
authorities want is bad press that would hinder tourism. Residents of Playa del
Carmen have placed flowers, candles and cartulina (poster) signs outside the Blue Parrot nightclub,
reading 'Peace in Playa', 'No more pistols', and translated from Spanish;

“'Enough
already, so much corruption and impunity'.

A Houston man, Ignacio Valencia, who was shot in
both arms while trying to escape, had been hanging out with Alejandra after
meeting her at the festival, he wrote this on his Facebook page:

Good story from CBS news quoting a PDC local saying the Zetas control the drug trade there http://www.cbsnews.com/news/denver-teen-trampled-to-death-during-mexican-music-fest-shooting-in-resort-town-of-playa-del-carmen-family-says/

Think this guy who was hanging around with the victim is looking to profit from this with a Go Fund Me . Nevertheless it's sad for what has transpired at the club. But then again violence is everywhere. Prayers for the families and victims

Then of course if this guy was kicked out the club by security guards then he would have a reason to attack them at gun point. I'm not saying narcos much less Zetas are saints but this could well could have been a personal issue.

Very good point Chivis. This is typical Z operations. The obvious assumption is that the club did not pay and this is what happened. The local media will be quite about this since they are also under their extortion cloud.

Wuuuh 6:10 you and your terrorist "ack"Did you see talibanes or al Qaeda en Cancun signs anywhere?To me it looks like a criminal act of a gang of muertos de hambre bitching for their plaza.Blame the secretary of tourism for misleading these young tourists to the trap to make some coin, but knowing what is going on, why go 2 mexico?

Are you kidding me right now ? Look up the word terrorist . Just because you are not al Queda or isis doesn't mean you are not a terrorist, terrorists TERRORIZE people and that's what these cartels do to whole communities and pueblos and the whole country . Look up the word terrorist before you identify terrorists as only two groups of people in the whole damn world !

I guess then, that according to your definition of terrorist acts says there are 2000 terrorist attacks in the US per year https://www.reference.com/government-politics/many-gang-related-deaths-occur-year-81d438d69ed97cc6

Not every criminal "ack" is terrorism, no matter how terrorizing, as of right now only people trying to obtain contractz from the US government are seeing visions and mirages of terrorism and terroristas on their toilet paper...--giniral Michael Flynn saw directions to ISIS in the arab language caves in texas, I bet he wrote them himself...--giniral "mad dog mattis" aka CHAOS made himself a few millions of dollars as a civilian since his retirement, milking his contacts he made as a military man, he really earned his keep while his men put their lives on the line, of course he professes to believe in civilian control of the defense department, to make coin he and others can't make in the service, wonder what you have to sell as a general to earn millions of dollars as a civilian?--More than 8 000 men and women killed in these wars for profit would like to know why they died, how much of the loot their ginirals and colons make is theirs, if they ever say their name or drink a cold one for for them...

Apparently the Narco's want a a cut of something they did not create. What a shame this is happening all over Mexico. Mexico cannot move forward and flourish at all levels, until they put a stop to this. Start with getting the corruption out of government from all levels to make things better who also get a cut from the violence, extortion and kidnappings.

The event organizer from Canada got killed with security guards so it was most likely a cartel that didn't get their cut. Most businesses in Mexico have to give taxes to cartel or they get killed. That's the reason so many people in Mexico that owned a small shop decided to shut down. They take a big chunk of money from them. Real spit

Could be did not pay "piso," from the people I spoke to over there when I went.....in Cancun and PDC they did not mind the piso (not like they have. Choice) but their argument was that the narcos and their goons utilized their services and spent money in their business so they made a lot of it back.....(that's what I was told).

Some reports are saying the gunman[men] was from CDG, who were pressuring club managers to let them take over drug sales at the club, and that a CDG dealer had been kicked out the night of the shooting.

@9:14 At the risk that I will sound like I am from NY or New Jersey instead of Texas, the only thing if can think of to say is "Geez, Tu Fren, you just keep coming up with good stories" Again thank you very much.

Fuck. I used to be one of the ones saying "bunch of fucking crybabies scared to go into Mexico, there's places where it's not bad". And then here goes this shit. Bad bad situation all around. There will always be corruption in Mexican government, so it goes without saying there will always be shit storms when it comes to public safety and the dope trade. But god damn where are the old school guys who used to keep this kind of shit in check. Narcos been around since the beginning of time in Mexico; these dickless sons of bitches are all just a bunch of yakked out addict piece of shit wannabes with guns.

When the american addicts failed to consume more drugs quicker, american wise guys invented crack, and industrialized METH, and when it was not enough they forced their narcos and capos to create addiction all over mexico by not paying cash for their drugs, so, don't facking tell me who has mexico all facked up.

@10:38 Perception is not always the reality. Many years ago I was considering running for office in the state legislator and I went to visit with a old political pro who I guess every candidate touched base with before they filed. I asked him how did it race I was considering look. His answer was very simple. "It depends on which direction you are looking". I knew his perception of my chances were the same as mine. I din't run.

When I asked my now wife (Mexican) to marry me I asked her if she wanted to live in the US or in Mx. She didn't hesitate before saying Mexico. I asked her why and she said Norte Americanos are not friendly and they are rude, that there was too much violence there - drive by shootings, mothers killing their babies and too much drug usage. So it kind of looks like our perceptions depends on which direction your are looking. North or South.

@11:11If I could am sustain my self the way I do here in the states I would live in Mexico.....I still might once I retire and my kids are grown, I love it there.... The people, the culture..... Such a beautiful country

Groups individuals who are willing to kill innocent people as part of their money making extortions should be public enemy number 1! Either by the government or by opposing cartels. Someone PLEASE take care of these kind of people. Don't fuck up the influx of $$$ that the tourist bring to your beautiful country!

Sounds like bullshit looks like the CDN where behind this and they are putting fake mantas so the government go against Zetaz Vieja Escuela. Because in Tamaulipas Old School Z and CDG are allied CDG Matamotos and Old School Zetaz.

@8:03 Amigo, let me give you some advice. Before you get in an argument with Itzli You might want to read an ongoing thread on the Forum that is written by Itzli and is called CURRENT EVENTS IN THE GULF CARTEL It has about 1600 comments and about 750 of those are Itzli. He knows more about CDG than all of us combined here on the Forum.

Just wanted you to know what you would be getting yourself into if you want to argue with him.

@8:03 You make a good point about the possibility of a fake manta to burn an enemy group. Believe me I pick and choose my words carefully, when I said "Supposedly" in the back of my mind I was already considering the possibility that it was actually an enemy of the Old School Zetas writing the banner. So much smoke and mirrors when it comes to banners and messages.

Fyi, the whole comment of being convinced I'm a lady gave me a good laugh. That is definitely not the case and not the first time it's come up online. In the past some people think it sounds feminine but don't take the time to look into the origin of the name Itzli.

We know that too often women have the better minds, but hold on to your bloomers iztli this is not a come on, just be glad your name is not Sue, boy, there is a song of Johnny Cash about that, aaight, nice to see boys and girls.See you at the inauguration, carry a lot of rotten tomatoes

Heartbreaking,specifically Alejandra Villanueva Ibarra being the sole provider for her family,an 18 year old girl trying to have some chill time..The rats run in and spray bullets killing people they dont know or care about,then we hear the personal side of these stories and you start to imagine it could happen to anyone of us losing family?And for what?These innocent people paid the ultimate price for stinky zeta rats greed

I've been telling people for years of the dangers of being "tourist" in mexico, blame the tourism offices in both countries, criminals do what they do, governments are suppossed to help their citizens better than this instead if throwing "business" the way of the criminals...

How low cartels are now.Plaza chiefs are stinky looking and run around with bags already cut up,and these are the plaza bosses of today,especially the scrub zetas,kidnap,tax,cars,CDs,murder, all kinds of snide shit,just like this.Sad story

6:21 I hope it is closed for good, and all the tourism gets gone somewhere else, after all, the only ones who thrive are the big time investors and the government, find your fun somewhere else and I hope you have a whole Lotta fun.

In June (2016) when I was there the people paying piso told me it was la Gente Nueva's plaza both Cancun and Playa Del Carmen. En Playa Del Carmen van and cab drivers alike were paying piso directly in Cancun it was done through the association...... It was confirmed too by an Escort (who is now friend of mine) that was working there from Guadalajara. (She is in rehab right now and trying to stay clean and get out of the lifestyle) I am taking care of her family......

@10:20 LOL she did stab me in the back at first, but it was the addiction, that was making her do these things.....She is not a bad person, she just had to walk a journey that most people are lucky not to of had to, and made some bad choices, although some of them were through no fault of her own. She has baby girl who I love like she were my own...So that is one of the reasons why I am still trying to help her....Right now in rehab she is taking some classes to get her education done, I own a business that operates over there...and I made a deal with her. (I have kept my word so far) That if she stays clean, goes to her meetings daily when she gets out, and takes care of her baby girl. I will set up shop in her city and she can be my business partner...In the mean time I am talking care of her daughter and her grandma. Its a long story, and if I had not lived it I would not believe it if some one told me..my best friend that is a writer/author has told me that I should write a book about it...Long story short through a series of events... I met a hooker in Cancun, who is now like my baby sister.(Unofficially Adopted)LOL She says that I am her Guardian Angel and taught her alot, the truth is that I have been enlightened and have learned more about life and humanity since meeting her than I did in my 35 years of life. She has at least 3 more months to go. God willing once we get her set up I may just sell or gift my business, and go work for a non-profit for Women and kids, I dunno. We see...

The zetas control the beach areas of playa, their local boss is a creep... he likes to spank his workers bare assed with a wooden club if they don't earn enough... that's a sex offender if you ask me.. the gulfo's and a Sina loa faction also work close by, each have their own territory, but this happened in zeta hood.
